Winter in Santa Cruz = the best waves of the year! 🏄‍♀️ It’s true—Santa Cruz often gets the year’s greatest surfing waves in fall and winter months thanks to strong northwest swells that power up surf spots up and down the beach! 🌊 Winter months are typically recommended for more experienced surfers. But it’s the perfect time to admire the pros from the shore followed by a spectacular Santa Cruz sunset, of course. 🌅 📍VisitSantaCruz Click the link in bio to learn more about Santa Cruz surf culture. 📷 haleysneverhome #VisitCalifornia #SantaCruz #Surfing #CaliforniaSurfing #BayArea
